Spam from VoteNader.org?  (Or naderexplore04.org)

You may have received spam email recently that appears to come from our
campaign, or be about our campaign -- perhaps the "From" and or
"Reply-to" addresses look like they are coming from VoteNader.org. Or
perhaps you have received a message that appears to come from an
individual (if the address is real, the real owner probably did not send
this email either) with suppressed recipients. Or maybe you received an
email that appeared to come from yourself promoting our site.

These messages are NOT from Nader for President 2004, and these email
tactics are NOT condoned by our campaign in any way.

UPDATE: Some of the latest forged emails have been made to appear to be
coming from naderexplore04.org. Again, we are not responsible for this
unfortunate abuse of email, and there is little in the technical sense
that we can do to prevent this as it has nothing to do with our actual
infrastructure. We are collecting information.

NOTE: The emails with malicious code (viruses, worms, etc.) often have
attachments. Our campaign will NEVER send attachments in our
announcement emails to you. Please be sure that you have anti-virus
software and have the latest updates available for your anti-virus
software.

Our hosting service has alerted us to say that Nader for President 2004
appears to be the target of what is called a "Joe Job." Such an event is
where a spammer forges email to make it appear to have come from some
other domain (such as ours -- or yourself). This is hard to prevent on
our end and part of the insecure nature of the email protocol in
general.

Members of our actual email list must request to receive email from us
(either through Ralph's signup sheets or subscribing during our
exploratory phase, or now on our campaign site). When one signs up for
email they must reply to a confirmation message before they receive our
list announcements.

Our public announcement emails come from "[email protected],"
contain a "Paid for by Nader for President 2004" statement at the
bottom, and have "[email protected]" in the "To:" header.
Unfortunately, some of these indicators can be forged as well.

Most of the Spam that we have received complaints about appear to be
forged from email addresses not associated with votenader.org (often
forged to appear to be coming from government email addresses), and have
our website code embedded in the body of the email with hidden tags that
contain random words that work to subvert anti-spam software.

If you are on our lists, you can ALWAYS unsubscribe at ANY time by
following the instructions included at the end of our announcements. You
can also use our unsubscribe page using the email address you signed up
with.

If you are receiving this SPAM, we extend our apologies.

We will pursue the spammers to the full extent of the law.

around me. People of the world are
you going to stand aside and ignore what happened to me and what I am
saying, have you ever noticed that these people have no courage to
confront me directly anymore, you know why because they have killed,
raped and totured a lot more people than this. People of the world stand
up for justice when it is the time to do so, because one day it will be
your fate too.

May God free the humanity and end the days of friends of Satan.

The real conspiracy theory's script: Getting diabetes and other biological weapons

Assalam u'Alekum :),

So Mahmud Kurchu and his brother Yusuf forced me to eat sweet that I
didn't really want to eat, immediately after eating this sweet I started
feeling pain in my body, as if my blood was burning, before he left he
said if you break the door and run to hospital they might save your
life. That biological weapon was to become diabetes after 24 hours and
some other sickness (that they still don't tell me what it is) Anyway
during the day I woke up their was some woman going around outside, I
begged her for help, please the
